This colorful costume is a theatrical version of a jiasha, or Buddhist vestment, usually rectangular in shape and worn draped over one shoulder. It maintains many of the conventions of Buddhist clerical dress—namely, the piece is divided into parts: columns and a framework surrounded by a border with additional squares at the corners.
